Montreal-based skate brand JJJJound continues working together with New Balance and the two have just launched a new colorway palette of the 993 sneaker model. The shoe is adorned in a brown and black colorway and a mushroom and white palette. The first to shine in the spotlight is the Mushroom and White model, which features a blend of mesh and suede materials throughout the upper.
The brown and grey details are added for some contrast with branding to follow in the plain wordmark at the sock lining and heel unit. Custom co-branding makes its way onto the packaging -- it is designed by the two and has a secondary lace option made from polyester in black. It is set to release on January 16th with the brown and black to launch after.
